Nick (I assume the guest is you before you get zapped!),

The different night get together sounds good. PM me and let's see if we can pull something together..... perhaps one of the Friday nights in The Roebuck at Bagby (every 2nd Friday.... started last month) .... it would be good to help kickstart this new session/ singaround. Tunes, songs, cornets.....anything goes. Pretty much half way as well.

Unaccompanied singing done well (which as you say is hard to do) can silence the noisiest of rooms, unaccompanied singing done averagely or worse tends to empty them.
